    The dude is scary. Ultimate ‘pick me’ mentality with a head on his shoulders.

    Generally all Google speakers are sympatic. Because they have so high knowledge.

    BTW, it helps seeing it a second time. The subs are out of sync thgough, theyre not helping if english is not the native language.

    @kassem435 It sounds like a good speech, but damn he is speaking very (too) fast.
    I understand, if he is not used to speaking, after a while it becomes hard, because there is no reaction from the crowd for some time. It can mean they are interested and listening, but he needs a reaction from them. Maybe to relax himself he shut put in a joke of some kind, so he can hear people laugh.
    Anyways, he is young, I think he will learn. Everyone are nerveous the first times..

    Outstanding video. ? Great breakdown on a good application of composite pattern in relating to games, sprinkled with some IoC and dependency injection. This guy knows what he’s doing. After porting hundreds of mobile games I’ve found that for the most part this type of design and approach is the exception to the rule, unfortunately.

    @pliablemammal lol true! They can gladly have it. Plenty more where than came from. In ten years time, if Bing doesn’t beat em, comments like that will probably get people killed by a Google laser built into their laptop.
